Nick Viall is officially the next star of “The Bachelor.” The announcement was made on Tuesday after weeks of speculation.

Viall is a veteran of the franchise, who has appeared on “The Bachelorette” twice and on “Bachelor In Paradise.” Viall appeared on Andi Dorfman’s season and came back again for Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season. In both seasons, he was the runner-up. Now, it’s Viall’s time to shine on his own as “The Bachelor.”

The veteran reality star was famously blasted after he revealed during the “After The Final Rose” special for Dorfman that they had sex in the Fantasy Suite. Dorfman was still so angry with him, she warned Bristowe about Viall when he joined the latter’s season. But Bristowe ultimately also slept with him on “The Bachelorette.” Since then, however, Viall has transformed into a lovable, yet unlucky-in-love guy, who has won over many during his current appearance on “Bachelor In Paradise.” In fact, he’s so loved now, most are rooting for Viall to finally find love as “The Bachelor.”
